It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two traits that make it obligatory: Whoever meets Allah in such a state that he does not associate anything with Him, he will enter Paradise; and whoever meets Allah in such a state that he associates partners with Him, he will enter Hell."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him): "Whoever meets Allah in such a state that he bears witness to «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» and does not associate partners with Allah, he will enter Paradise." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! Should I not give this glad tidings to the people?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, I fear that they will rely on it (and abandon good deeds)."

Sayyiduna Salamah bin Na’eem, may Allah be pleased with him, who was among the Companions, narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:“Whoever meets Allah in such a state that he does not associate anything with Him, will enter Paradise, even if he has committed adultery and theft.”

Hisan Kahin Adawi, may Allah have mercy on him, says: I was sitting in a gathering in which Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, was also present. Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:“There is no soul on earth that dies in such a state that it does not associate partners with Allah and bears witness that I am the Messenger of Allah, while this testimony is from the heart with certainty, except that it is forgiven.”I said:“Did you hear this hadith from Sayyiduna Mu’adh, may Allah be pleased with him?”At this, the people reproached me and said:“Leave him, he has not said anything wrong.”In any case, I heard this from Sayyiduna Mu’adh, may Allah be pleased with him, and he believed that he had heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

Hisan bin Kahil, may Allah have mercy on him, says: I entered the central mosque of Basra and sat near an elderly man whose hair and beard were white. He said: Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no soul on earth that dies in such a state that it does not associate partners with Allah and bears witness that I am the Messenger of Allah, while this testimony is from the certainty of the heart, except that it is forgiven." He said: "Do not rebuke him and do not scold him, leave him," yes, I heard this hadith from Sayyiduna Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, and he was narrating it from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. And Ismail once said: He was transmitting it from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. I asked a man: Who is this? He said: This is Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him.

Hisan bin Kahil, may Allah have mercy on him, whose father used to practice soothsaying during the time of ignorance, says: I entered the mosque during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him. There was an elderly man sitting there, his head and beard hair were white. He began to narrate a hadith from Sayyiduna Mu'adh, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no soul on earth that dies in such a state that it does not associate partners with Allah and bears witness that I am the Messenger of Allah, while this testimony is from the heart with certainty, except that he is forgiven."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: O son of Adam! If you commit sins equal to the fill of the earth, but do not associate partners with Me, I will grant you forgiveness equal to the fill of the earth." In one narration, it is stated: By «قُرَابُ الْأَرْضِ» is meant the fill of the earth.
